Preschool Weekly Wrap Up- Letter L

I am unbelievably behind in my posting! Do I start every post by saying that? Well, we did the letter L back in September and I am finally getting around to posting it, so that should give an idea of how far behind I am.

Since it was September when we did the letter L,
I had Hunter glue leaves onto the letter L.

Hunter put magnetic pom poms onto this letter L printable.

He practiced his cutting.

He sorted leaves and apples.

Hunter does one of these pages for every letter we do and he loves doing these!

Some shadow matching with leaves.

(All letter L printables are from Confessions of a Homeschooler and Homeschool Creations)

Hunter did a little work in one of his workbooks.

He loves building with these Wedgits.

Harper likes to be a part of school, and was busying working on coloring.

I’m hoping to get caught up on all my posts during our Christmas break- let’s see how that goes!

Desert Scene

We have been continuing our study of different habitats around the world and the animals that live in those habitats.  Our latest stop was the desert.  We learned about where the deserts are located, the weather in the desert, the animals that live in the desert and their classifications and what kind of food they eat.

 One of the animals we learned about was the camel.  We did a little demonstration to learn why camels have such big feet.  First, Hailey took a small circle of cardboard and pushed it into some sand.  It sunk right down into the sand.

Then she tried the same thing with a larger cardboard cut out, representing a camel’s large foot.  It did not sink into the sand, just like camels feet do not sink into the desert sand.

Hailey also created a representation of the desert.  She mixed some white and brown paint to create a sand color.  Then she mixed in some sand to give it some texture.

As we learned about different plants and animals, Hailey added them to her poster.
